When mounting to a wood stud, Supporting Stud Wall

When mounting to a wood stud

Line up the Installation Template (IT) with the stud markings to ensure the proper location for your drill holes. After you have the position selected, tape the template in place securely on the wall with masking tape so that you don’t damage the wall surface. Use a level to double check that the screw holes will line up vertically as shown in Figure 7. Drill two holes 2.5" (64mm) deep using a 5/32" (or 4mm) size drill bit in the “a” and “b” locations noted on the Installation Template.

When you have prepared the holes for mounting the Extension Arm (EA), place the extension arm over the holes and screw in the two Lag Bolts (T). Leave some “wiggle” room so that you can make any fine adjustments, if necessary. After making sure the extension arm is level, tighten all of the lag bolts completely.

Next insert the plastic Finishing Caps (Z) into the holes in the Extension Arm (EA) to cover up the Lag Bolts (T).

Tighten mounting screws so that the Extension Arm (EA) is firmly attached to the wall, but don’t over-tighten! The mounting screws and/or the supporting surface can become damaged, which greatly reduces their holding ability. Final tightening of the mounting screws should always be done by hand, with a Phillips-head screwdriver or ratchet wrench.
